Take my Mother-in-law...There's a reason there are so many bad jokes about mothers-in-law. You don't choose them, they just come along as emotional baggage with your object of affection. I'm lucky, my m-i-l is lovely*, but don't let that put you off telling us how mad your in-laws really are.
*No, really

My MIL to be is too generousMy Girlies mum is great and hard not to like her when she has the same personality as my gf.
The only trouble is that she is too generous. We only have to mention we are looking at something , such as a tumble dryer, and before you know it out comes the which magazines and they are telling us what to buy. We just nod and say it looks good and then they go and buy it even though it was just a thought that we might get one. They book holidays and invite us and make it impossible to say no. Every place they visit they buy us bedding or bizzare QVC type products such as microwave omlette dishes or car cleaning kits. I have tried to tell my GF not to tell them when we are buying anything but even if we have ordered something they will convince her to cancel it as they know a better deal then won't let us pay. I don't want to appear ungrateful but they even let themselves into our house when we went to oz and repainted the house for us even though we never asked for it and hadnt planned it or chosen any colours.
bless em though, still seeing her dad about the new car i'm after tonight ;)
